From the 3rd floor
of the Webb City Public Library
June 26, 2024
We recently found a nice copy of a photograph of the Commercial Club of Webb City that was taken by E. E. Spracklen.
The photograph was published in a supplement of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Our original copy of this image was of poor quality, and we were glad to find a better one.
We estimate this photograph was taken about 1915, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is available online, but we were unable to find the supplement.
Some of the names of these early Webb City businessmen are unknown. We have two partial lists, which are both a bit confusing. The name list written on the Palco Lumber paper was found with the new copy of the image, and the other list was written on the back of our first copy.
If any of our readers can help with an identification, please contact us at the Webb City Area Genealogical Society, third floor of the library. Our phone is (417) 673-0398 and email address is webbcitygen@gmail.com.
The Webb City Sentinel isn’t a newspaper – but it used to be, serving Webb City, Missouri, in print from 1879-2020. This “newspaper” seeks to carry on that tradition as a nonprofit corporation.
